As states continue to ease restrictions and move forward with reopening plans, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. has passed two million, that’s according to research by Johns Hopkins University.

The data also shows Florida has reported more than 1,000 new infections each day, on average, since the middle of last week. The increase coincides with the state entering its second stage of reopening which went into effect on Friday.

“I am concerned that this new phase of opening the economy along with the protests, it will create a very ripe situation for the virus to spread more easily,” Dr. Kleper de Almeida, an Infectious Disease Specialist in West Palm Beach.
